ES Micro Series H-Pin® Socket

ES Micro Series Socket is a technological advancement in the burn-in socket segment, with a dual latch clamshell lid to provide co-planar pressure on the DUT when the lid is actuated. The inclusion of the patented H-Pin contact technology in the ES Micro-Series socket provides market-leading electrical performance in the smallest footprint for the highest possible parallelism on a burn-in board. This series is compatible with standard heaters and temperature sensors.
